After some unscheduled milling about in the church hall car park, about 20 of us eventually convened for George Falkner's presentation about his "Skeetsmere" layout, based on Laxfield on the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway.
Whilst it is to 4mm scale (EM gauge), George's presentation focused on the philosophy and design behind the layout, all of which is equally applicable to 2mm scale. The layout has progressed significantly since George's previous presentation, and he brought it along for everyone to see up close. It was running and a bit of shunting was indulged in during/after tea, although we didn't get any photos. Scenery continues to progress but there is much detailing to be done.
The layout sits on a pair of DIY-store metal trestles, and the small cassette fiddle yard cantilevers off one end, along with the control panel (still under construction):
